Chapter 2641
Max then spun the gun in his hand and tucked it back at his waist coolly. His
gaze was sharp and firm. “I just saw a weak woman getting bullied in
Canberra, and she sought my help. As the prime minister’s guard who
happened to witness it, I naturally couldn’t sit by and watch.
Does President Jewell think me lending her a hand is equivalent to going
against Jewell Corporation? Or do you think you’re above the law because
of your identity?”
Even Chester did not dare to take such a huge accusation lightly.
He narrowed his eyes coldly, not expecting Max would be so ignorant.
“Not only did Eliza offend me, but she even injured my leg. Shouldn’t I hold
her accountable for it?” Chester raised his leg, which was bleeding. “Since
you want to uphold justice, who would take responsibility for my injury?”
“You were the one who wanted to strangle me to death first.”
Eliza lifted her neck, revealing the red finger marks, and said hoarsely, “You

Why? Do you think you can simply decide on a person’s life or death just
because you’re the president of Jewell Corporation? If I hadn’t been so lucky
today, I might’ve died in your villa.”
When Max saw the finger marks on her neck, his gaze turned grim. “President Jewell, how impressive. I just learned
today that the rich and powerful can sentence someone to death.”
Chester’s expression twisted in anger. “ How could I have strangled her in a wheelchair? In fact, she was the one
who berated me.”
“No matter what, I have to report today’s matter to the police. I want to have a professional evaluate the condition
of my injury.” while Eliza spoke, she took out her phone and immediately called the police.
Chester glared straight at her. His handsome face was intimidating. “Very well, Eliza. You’ve really offended me
now. My last name won’t be Jewell if I don’t teach you a lesson.”
After giving Eliza a vicious warning, he said to a bodyguard, “Send me to the hospital.”
If his leg did not get treated soon, it would be crippled.
Only after Chester got into his car and left did Max look away. He stared at Eliza helplessly and painfully. “You were
too reckless this time. Have you ever thought about the consequences if I weren’t in Canberra? You might not even
be able to walk out of the villa’s door after that fallout with Chester. He isn’t as simple as the outsiders see him.”
“I just didn’t want to tolerate it any longer.”
A hint of irritation flashed across Eliza’s eyes. She could not forget Chester’s abuse and contempt toward her when
she bent over backward and stayed by his side.
What gave him the right to belittle her that way after threatening her to stay by his side with such despicable
methods?
Eliza hated Chester’s high and mighty attitude.
She wanted to make him lose control and make him furious.
“Don’t worry. I informed you before coming, so I knew that you’d come. I
wouldn’t have done this if you weren’t in Canberra.”
Eliza looked at Max gratefully. “Thank you, Max. However, Chester is a
petty person. Will helping me this time affect you?”
Max ruffled her hair. “I walked out of the battlefield by relying on my own
fists. So, unless I’ve made a mistake, Chester won’t be able to meddle in
my affairs. I’m just worried about you. I can’t be by your side to protect you
at every moment, why don’t... you fake being in a relationship with me?
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmThat way, Chester won’t dare to be so arrogant.”
“Stop joking around.”
Eliza took a step back. There was a hint of confusion in her cool eyes. “As I
said before, I’m a celebrity, and you’re a secret guard who works in the
dark. If you date a public figure, what will the people on the internet say
about you?”
“I don’t care about all of those.” Max felt powerless. “At worst, I’ll stop
working for the prime minister.”
“Max, Chester was right about one thing just now. You started from the
bottom and slowly rose through the ranks to get to where you are today.
You didn’t get those scars on your body for nothing.”
Then, Eliza turned with her back to Max. “ Did you forget? When we were
young, you told me you wanted to be a general in the future. You have
ambitions and aspirations, while I’m a person who has died once before.
Although I’ve gotten my revenge, all the people closest to me are dead. I
can’t find the meaning for my existence.” “Charity, don’t say that.”
